In February, the second season of "The Limit Challenge", which was scheduled to be broadcast on weekends during prime time, began its joyous journey once again. Although the premiere wasn't as amazing as the previous year, and it didn't set a new record, its ratings were still able to rank at the top of the variety shows in the same season. It even reached the top during the second episode.
This meant that "The Limit Challenge" already had a group of very loyal fans. As long as the main six members didn't change and the show didn't have any major problems, its ratings were basically guaranteed!
However, in Jiangcheng, the preparation for the new variety show that Jiangnan TV Station and China Star Productions had put in a lot of effort to create was basically completed. The program team led by Hong Yumin was nervously and orderly preparing for its first recording.
This was probably a big opponent that "The Limit Challenge" would have to face in the future. Although they were of different genres and were the works of the same boss, at the same time period, in terms of ratings and public opinion, the two shows were bound to have a battle!
…
Today, Yang Yi and Murphy also came to Jiangnan TV Station. They were prepared to visit and experience the recording hall that Jiangnan TV Station had specially built for their show with a lot of money. Yang Yi didn't expect Jiangnan TV Station to be so rich and generous.
There was never a lack of reporters waiting outside Jiangnan TV Station. Yang Yi's car slowly drove into the courtyard and stopped in the parking lot. When he and Murphy got out of the car, they heard the sound of camera clicking behind them.
Yang Yi subconsciously turned his head to look. A few paparazzi were excitedly standing outside the fence holding their cameras and frantically pressing the shutters.
Yang Yi was used to this kind of scene by now. His eyes just swept past them, but his expression didn't change at all. Then, Yang Yi locked the car and reached out to gently hug Murphy, who was carrying Tong Tong. The two of them calmly walked in the direction of the TV Station building.
Hong Yumin came out to greet them. Coincidentally, Yang Yi and the others also met Jiangnan TV Station's director, Wu Xiangdong, and his assistant, Qin Yu, downstairs.
Wu Xiangdong smiled when he saw Yang Yi. However, he still had a meeting to host later, so he got Qin Yu to entertain Yang Yi.
There was no need to elaborate on the pleasantries. The main purpose of Yang Yi and his team was to visit and check out the new recording hall of I Am a Singer. Soon, they arrived at the recording hall.
As soon as they entered, the door was closed, and any movement from the outside world seemed to have been isolated. The perfect soundproofing effect made Yang Yi and Mo Fei, with their picky ears, could only hear the buzzing of the staff talking at the scene.
The recording hall was about 1,200 square meters. It wasn't big, but it could support a small stage.
The circular stage was like a heavenly altar, surrounded by several rings of stairs. It gave people a sense of competition like the PK stage in the middle of the Colosseum! The decoration of the stage was very luxurious. The bright black tiles were made of a special material. It was a kind of decoration that reflected light but didn't reflect too much light like a mirror. When different colors of light hit it, there would be a certain degree of enhancement effect.
Behind the stage, there were all kinds of spotlights and colored lights. However, the most eye-catching ones were the rows of line array speakers. They were like the sails of a sailboat, hanging down in rows.
"This is all thanks to Jiangnan TV Station's support. Our equipment is very good. For example, the sound system, the main loudspeaker is L-ACOUSTICSKUDOV-DOSC, and the stage return is L-ACOUSTICSHIQ15 …" Hong Yumin excitedly introduced to Yang Yi, a long list of complicated brands and models could be blurted out.
(Note: This is some information borrowed from the real-life version of I Am a Singer.)
Yang Yi and Murphy weren't outsiders. Although they couldn't be considered experts in sound equipment, they still knew what kind of position such equipment occupied in the industry.
"I don't think even Eason's concert could be made on such a large scale. Director Hong, can I try singing later?" Murphy's eyes were filled with excitement as she asked Hong Yumin with a smile.
"That's not a problem. We finished all the wiring yesterday. Today's main task is debugging. You can also help us try out the sound effects!" Hong Yumin said with a smile.
The equipment in the venue was very luxurious. Other than the sound system, there was also the Ferrari DiGiCoSD5 and SD7 of sound mixers. There were also the best microphones and wireless systems …
Of course, with such good equipment, it still required a top team to support it. However, there was no need to worry about that. After the first season of China's Voice, as well as the continuous recruitment of the industry's top tuners, sound collectors, and music producers, the professional team that China Star Productions assigned to Hong Yumin could be said to be a luxurious lineup!
Qin Yu was indeed the assistant to the director. He knew how to behave. He knew that he wasn't a professional, so when Hong Yumin introduced the equipment to Yang Yi, he tactfully stood at the side and listened with a smile.
It wasn't clear if he understood, but he smiled and nodded from time to time, as if he understood.
"In the end, it's still our hometown's TV station that supports us the most. They bought such expensive equipment just like that!" Hong Yumin complimented Jiangnan TV Station at the right time.
This was the time for Qin Yu to speak. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Not at all. Teacher Yang and Teacher Hong, your reputation is out there. It's our luck that our TV station is able to work with you. "
Qin Yu covered his mouth with his hand and purposely whispered a few words, "I won't hide it from Teacher Yang. Our Wu Tai Station has put in a lot of effort. After all, Teacher Yang and Mayor Guo have a good relationship. For this program, we have to do our best to cooperate with you. Therefore, we have to provide you with the best resources!"
Following that, he laughed heartily and returned to his normal voice. He said with a smile, "Of course, the television station has also made an assessment. They feel that with China's The Voice's popularity in the music variety show market, our show's format is novel and has a better effect in terms of attracting celebrities. It can definitely be made into one of our station's signature shows, so it's normal for them to give us more support."
Yang Yi felt quite uncomfortable listening to these bureaucratic words. Although Qin Yu was also flattering him, there was probably a lot of hypocrisy in it.
Luckily, Qin Yu quickly shut his mouth and pretended to be invisible at the side. He did not disturb Yang Yi and Murphy's audition.
During the audition process of Murphy singing a song, Hong Yumin arranged for someone to record it with the camera and sound equipment. These would be used as highlights for the promotion of I Am a Singer in the future.
"The effect is very good!" After Murphy finished singing, Yang Yi smiled and applauded. He commented, "I'm listening from below. This feeling is very strange. It's as if every turn of your voice is coming out from beside my ear. It's better than listening to non-destructive music with top-notch headphones! Moreover, the sound pressure created by the live broadcast is exactly the same as a concert. It's a great feeling to listen to it live! "
"Come and sing a part too. Let me give it a try!" Murphy pulled Tong Tong to her side and urged Yang Yi. She also wanted to experience the ultimate enjoyment of music brought by this level of sound equipment live.
The two of them played with the sound equipment as if there was no one else around.
After listening to Yang Yi's live broadcast, Murphy couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. She sighed and said, "A good sound system is indeed different!"
She glanced at Hong Yumin and Qin Yu beside her. She pulled Yang Yi and secretly asked, "Do you think we can borrow this place? I suddenly feel that this place is very suitable for holding a fan handshake meeting. We can occasionally hold small events like this. It doesn't have to be a big concert. It's also a good way to give back to the fans who have always supported us! "
Murphy was a little uncertain. This was because the venue and equipment belonged to Jiangnan TV Station. If they wanted to borrow it, they would have to ask for Guo Ziyi's father's favor.
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Why would we want to borrow from others? If you like it, we can buy a piece of land near the company and build a small theater. We can just build our own venue according to this scale. "
Yang Yi could still afford to squander this amount of money.
